Escription is good platform sm

In Reply to: TTS...need advice please! - NOLA
The sound quality is good (on my computer anyway compared to some other platforms I've tried!), the platform is quick between screens, allows you to check past reports and dictator's past reports. I found the later especially helpful when I had challenging dictators saying the same things and could not quite figure it out. When I checked their past reports of the same kind - wallah! -- there it was in print.
Escription can be really good (with good dictators) and a big stinker with poor dictators. I suspect that is the same everywhere. I would jump at the chance to only have about 40% VR.
Good luck to you and God bless.

Escription platform
What other company uses the Escription platform that does not subcontract from Focus? I like that platform, just not working for Focus.

Has anyone worked or does work on escription platform? Just wanting to know if you can make a good line count on it. I don't know whether or not to apply for a company that uses it. Any info greatly appreciated.
escription platform
Hi! Are you doing straight transcription? I appreciate your help! 
8.4/4 for Escription platform. nm

Escription is best platform. nm

I am using escription platform.
When they installed that, they also installed Shorthand. I never use it, I don't know how to use it. I use my own Instant Text. Anyway, I have been here 1 month and so far so good. I use MS Word and a Stedman's Medical Spellcheck I purchased myself a year ago.
Yes, it's Escription (VR platform)
I use that platform for my primary account. I think it's the best VR platform out there.
Anyone having problems with escription platform?
I know this is not just a problem I am having but almost impossible to use, audio coming in jerking along and sometimes not even there- makes the words slowlllllllly appear on screen, really bad. TIA.
I get paid 5 cpl on Escription platform.. nm

Any currently working on the Escription platform... sm
How are you with the straight jobs versus the speech recognition? Are you doing both? Is Escription much better than Extext? Are you able to double your lines with Escription VR. Thanks for sharing.
I second Escription. It's the easiest platform you'll ever try. There is no VPN to log into, n
extra screens. You just log on the system, hit a button to get your job, type it and hit the upload and it is gone. Nothing else to do. I have used too many systems where you have to log into multiple screens etc.. before you can even get started. To me, Escription is way more productive. You will not have a lot of time wasted. JMO.
Escription is user friendly and 4 cpl is about average for that platform. You could easily do 400
lines an hour. Some people do even 500-600. Good luck with your decision. From what I know, it really is the best VR platform out there and I make more on that than ever could straight typing.
eScription VR is 4 cpl good pay?
How easy is it to achieve 2400 lines per day with VR?
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

Is 5 cpl a good rate for eScription VR? I have no
experience in this VR software and have no idea if this rate is good or not. Please help. TIA
Neither is very good, but Escription is supposed to be a cut above. nm

Only 1 account on escription is good
IF you can get the escription account starts with P it is decent lines. all the other accounts are crappy... LOTS of corrections for the substandard line rate you are paid of 3-4 cpl
Good luck. Are you on the Escription accounts?
I like it there. I've had my moments there, but I haven't found anything better out there so I'm staying for the long haul.
In case anyone thinks Escription is a good thing!!
This is just the beginning as more and more records are residing on the internet. And when you go into see your doctor, he is more concerned with making his laptop work and inputting info than he is listening to you. My friends are angry about this as they see it more and more. So EMR, internet, etc are more trouble than they are worth and we can only hope we go back to the way it used to be.
I just started on eScription and it's pretty good. Higher than the last place I was
at. Starting base at 4 cpl, which is 1 cpl higher than I was making at TTS.
Except for the good platform, the
rest of it sounds just like Transcend. 
What is a good platform? sm
Have you found a better platform that is fast and good for line count?
not a good platform - sm
I found it to be very slow and it took too much time to set up each dictation. Not time efficient at all!!!! You have to fill on all the info yourself, no prefilled headers.
good platform
The platform they use is one of the best out there, IMO after doing meditech, chartscribe, you name it. The pay is so-so as they do a tiered rate. Pay is on time. They used to be flexible on the hours you worked. Full time is 12,500 lines a pay period of half a month.
Just avoid any accounts that Lisa is manager of if you can. Or at least just stay a transcriptionist, do not get sucked into helping on other stuff or then you really get screwed on pay.
Lisa is controlling and plays nasty games with people working under her.
Platform bad but pay is good
I'm making more than ever before in my life on my hassle-ridden platform, so I'll deal with it. The way they made our pay fair for their admitted hassles is they take dictated minutes and multiply those by 13 lines to come up with our line counts. So every dictator with sloppy habits (long pauses, changes their mind constantly, wants to spell the nobrainers, etc.) which would be a money waster on any other account, actually makes me money because I'm getting 13 lines per dictated minute no matter what the dictation consists of. Maybe you can ask if they can implement something similar for your bad platform, to compensate for admittedly wasted time on it, and more people would be willing to work it.
Just be aware that not all Escription accounts pay the same. I worked for one company on Escription
struggling to maybe make $50 in 8-10 hours. I didnt know the difference as that was my first job on that platform and I just thought it was not a money maker. Then, I switched companies. I average $20-30 an hour and once I made $50 in an hour. I tried yet another company and I was lucky to make $9 an hour. The bottom line is that not all companies are alike, even though they use the Escription platform. What I have found is that goes according to how they set it up i.e. paying for footers, headers, spaces etc. Just dont be shocked if you dont make what you think you will. The companies know how to set it to where it benefits them and not you. As is the norm, not all companies are created equal out there regardless if they all use the same platform. That is what I am getting out.. Good luck.
Wow, that does sound like a good platform...
Maybe I should apply with your company. I need an efficient platform with hot keys and easy access. That sounds great!
Is Bytescribe a good platform. nm
:
Platform is user friendly. P ay is good. sm
The accounts are good for experienced MTs.
I can't say I produce more on this particular platform, but it is MT friendly. I average approximately 300 lines an hour. That is not my best, as I have done 400 lines an hour on a different platform. It all depends on the dictators.
Good luck to you. If you need flexibility, a decent line rate and don't mind being SE without benefits - go for it.
I prefer SE or IC status, so it suits me just fine.
MDI-FL - is the internet platform/MS word a good
platform. I understand they have about 4 different platforms. I would be interested in the proprietary internet platform that uses MS Word. Is it user friendly and productive, can you see your line counts immediately, what type of short cut Expander is used, and the type of voice player to download jobs?
Thanks
very easy to learn - good platform
I have worked on a few different platforms and this one works well. Very explicit account specifics as well so it makes it much easier to do your job.
Anyone use the Merit platform with MW? Good, bad, average? nm

I'm curious from your perspective, who has a good platform and why? sm
I see you posting regularly and I'm curious what you think Wbmdx could and should incorporate to make Enterprise better. Thanks.
Opinions on Oracle? Good pay? Platform? THX
Is the platform good? Word-based? Is the new
position still recruiting? Just passed the written and doing the transcription next..
I love the platform and make good $ on it. SM
I do believe it has to do with the accounts though. I've used it for 4 hospitals and have made great money, both VR and straight typing. VR gives me more than double the lines of typing but I do think it is an acquired skill. Learn the shortcuts and use them. It is also only as good as the team training the VR.
On the other hand I've used it on a clinic account and the lines were just not coming in like they do in AC. A very heavy, 90%, ESL verbatim account and I lasted all of 2 weeks on that account.
I'd say I do about 90% VR and 10% straight typing and all in all I'm impressed with the accuracy of the VR.
Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.

DocQScribe wasn't a good platform for me, so I left. nm

Medware, good platform, plenty of work
I have worked for them almost 3 years now, they are a better than average company and pay on time every other Friday. Check them out, you will be happy you did. Kim.
ExSpeech is not a very good platform to edit on such as DocQscribe. n/m

Good MT hard to find & 1 familiar with platform is

ProScript platform - good line count?
Just wondering for those out there with ProScript, are you getting a good line count with their platform?
I am not afraid of VR, as I learned it many years ago on a very good platform, but they did not cut
my line rate, but instead paid me for my knowledge in the medical field. By the way, I made very good money back then, too. Cannot allow my skills to be sold at one-half my current line rate. I have more pride in myself and confidence in myself than to be paid that cut-rate by any MTSO out there.
I work on a great platform, have good QA support and make
a lot more than 8 cpl. I even have GREAT benefits, which are more than affordable. There are good companies out there that pays for experience!!!!
Anybody have any info on Medict Systems out of Florida - Good/Bad, platform, pay etc.

Pay is good, platform very easy. Got line count within days. (sm)
The people you work with/for are extremely helpful. There is an incentive plan which they will explain to you during interview process. No 401 match - that is a bummer. First year PTO only a few days, but picks up the next year.
Apply and have the recruiter go over it all with you. It is well worth the time.
Good luck.
been with spheris 4.5 years, easy platform, good clinic account

TS has very outdated platform, and it's very hard to get a good daily line count. NMout
